Maurizio Perversi

As a symbol of the rebirth of the Fiat, the Topolino is the auto that has marked an era and a Nation, becoming the first compact car of our history. The subject is described in a halo of melancholy and desolation, remembering the past times. The gradations of grey and the shades of white describe the things the memory can see, in a virtuosity of misty effects that remind us the smokes of the first car models in the mass culture. The Painter has left traces of himself, celebrating his own memory as Hitchcock used to do, that is why he has written the date of his birth on the plate of the car and his name on the heading of the newspaper, which a piece of is visible on the street.
